THE DINGEE & CONARD COMPANY'S 



ABUTILON— SOUVENIR BE BONN. 



New Abutllon-Souvenir de Bonn. 



Of late introduction and, without a doubt, the most beauti- 

 ful of all the Abutilons. It is singularly beautiful and strik- 

 ing in appearance, and unequaled in decorative value. It is 

 a rapid grov/er, and quickly makes a large bush, and produces 

 great numbers of lovely flowers. The bright green leaves are 

 distinctly edged with a pure white band as shown in illustra- 

 tion. Flowers are borne on long stems and in color are golden 

 yellow, beautifully veined with scarlet, and stand out well be- 

 yond the foliage, producing a pleasing contrast. It is exceed- 

 ingly floriferous. Every one should possess a plant of it, as 

 the foliage alone gives it a high value as a house plant if it 

 never produced a flower. 15 cts. each ; 4 for 50 cts.; 9 for $1. 



Cape Jessamine, t^i'^rfd^^ 



This splendid plant is a great favorite with all who know 

 its true worth. The blooms are pure white and measure 2% 

 inches across and are delightfully fragrant. The flowers are 

 extremely fashionable, and for this reason, together with its 

 ease of culture, we feel sure of a lively demand for it. The 

 frequent requests received for it has led us to propagate a 

 large number of strong, well-rooted, blooming plants. 20 

 cts. each ; 3 for 50 cts. 



The Manettia Vine. 



We have learned that the proper method to pursue, in order 

 to get the most successful results from this lovely vine, is to 

 allow the roots to become pot bound. This causes the plant 

 to bloom profusely when it is quite small. Those who have 

 seen this vine in bloom will coincide with us that there is not 

 another prettier vine for window culture, and when grown to 

 perfection is exceedingly beautiful. Beyond the one point 

 given above, it thrives for all with small care; the lovely 

 wreaths and garlands of brilliant scarlet and orange -colored 

 flowers, interspersed with clean, bright, oblong foliage, pre- 

 sents a striking contrast. Strong plants, 15 cts. each; 4 for 

 50 cts.; 9 for ^i. 



lioya Carnosa. (waxpiant.) 



This is an old favorite whose popularity, instead of dimin- 

 ishing, seems to steadily increase. The flowers are bluish 

 white in color, resembling wax, and are borne profusely in 

 large umbels. Foliage is thick and fleshy, very handsome in 

 appearance. It is a quick grower and good bloomer. For 

 window or parlor culture in Winter it is a most beautiful and 

 valuable plant. Fine plants, 25 cts. each ; 5 for ^i.

Novel Dwarf Chrysanthemums. 



Wonderfully quick blooming, producing hundreds 

 of flowers. 



Mr. Samuel Ryder, Seed Specialist, St. Albans, Eng- 

 land, the originator, from whom we secured these plants, 

 says of them : " These new single Chrysanthemums form a 

 really remarkable group; they are the result of several years' 

 most careful selection and cross-fertilization. The results 

 have been remarkable. The varieties are innumerable and 

 the colors very fine; the habit is very dwarf, and so florifer- 

 ous is the plant that four to five hundred flowers were pro- 

 duced on single plants last Autumn. The flowers are 4 to 

 6 inches across, light and graceful; they are single and semi- 

 double, and are fragrant. The colors include white, blush, 

 crimson, yellow, scarlet, pink, cramoise, etc., etc. They 

 bloom quickly and most profusely. Fine plants, 20 cts. each ; 

 3 for 50 cts.; 7 for $1. Order as " Single Chrysanthemums ."
